The Cu(II) ion in the title compound, [CuBr(C(6)H(10)N(2))(4)]Br, is coordinated in a square-based-pyramidal geometry by the N atoms of four imidazole ligands and a bromide anion in the apical site. Both the Cu(II) and Br(-) atoms lie on a crystallographic fourfold axis. In the crystal, the [CuBr(C(6)H(10)N(2))(4)](+) complex cations are linked to the uncoordinated Br(-) anions (site symmetry [...

We developed a simple and efficient strategy to access N-vinyl secondary amines of various naturally occurring materials using readily available solid acetylene reagents (calcium carbide, KF, and KOH). Pyrrole, pyrazole, indoles, carbazoles, and diarylamines were successfully vinylated in good yields. Cross-linked and linear polymers were synthesized from N-vinyl carbazoles through free radical...

In the title mol-ecule, C(10)H(12)N(2)O, the dihedral angle between the benzene and imidazole rings is 14.86 (16)°. The approximately planar arrangement of the mol-ecule results in a distance of 2.54 Å between an ortho-H atom of the benzene ring and the double-bonded N atom of the imidazole ring. In the crystal structure, symmetry-related mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen ...

The title compound, [Cd(C(8)H(8)O(5))(C(3)H(4)N(2))(2)](n), was synthesized by the reaction of 7-oxabicyclo-[2.2.1]heptane-2,3-dicarboxylic anhydride, cadmium acetate and imidazole. The Cd(II) atom is seven-coordinated in a distorted penta-gonal-bipyramidal configuration by five O atoms from carboxyl-ate groups of three 7-oxabicyclo-[2.2.1]heptane-2,3-dicarboxylate ligands and two N atoms from ...

In the title mol-ecule, C(21)H(24)N(2)O(3), the dihedral angle between the benzene and imidazole rings is 66.33 (13)°. The imidazole ring is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.004 (2) Å. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are connected by weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the b axis.

The development, application, and advantages of a one-flask multicomponent dithiane linchpin coupling protocol, over the more conventional stepwise addition of dithiane anions to electrophiles leading to the rapid, efficient, and stereocontrolled assembly of highly functionalized intermediates for complex molecule synthesis, are described. Competent electrophiles include terminal epoxides, epic...

In the title nitronyl nitroxide radical compound, C(16)C(23)N(2)O(5), the imidazole and benzene rings are twisted with respect to each other, making a dihedral angle of 26.2 (4)°. The imidazole ring adopts a half-chair conformation. Weak C-H⋯π inter-actions are also found.

Alkoxide-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) stabilise the potassium-imidazole-2-ylidene fragment against 1,2 alkyl rearrangement reactions; this allows the first structural characterisation of a potassium NHC complex, which reveals distorted and unusual bonding interactions between the imidazole ring and the potassium cation.

In weakly coordinating solvents FeII meso-(N-methylimidazol-2-yl)porphine Fe exists as a stable dimer (Kd=50+/-30 nM) that binds ligands without undergoing dissociation and is presently the simplest complex in which the mono-imidazole ligation of a ferroheme is enforced without excess imidazole in solution.
